We are
Borderless

We are a technology staffing firm that scales, without the growing pains. Bringing on new team members shouldn’t slow you down. It should accelerate you and your business.

At EX Squared LATAM, we build fast, flexible nearshore teams that plug in and perform from day one.

We handle it all, Recruiting, HR, Legal, and Onboarding. This is staffing without the stress. Borderless teams. Real results.

Our Foundation

Rooted in Costa Rica, powered by Austin. With locations in Texas, Peru and India

Before we were EX Squared LATAM, we began as Outcoding.

Founded with the goal of creating opportunities and growth for Costa Rica’s programming and software industry.

Outcoding quickly established ties with US-based companies, providing software development outsourcing. In 2008, Outcoding joined forces with EXSQ Solutions Inc., a premier global digital services provider. Same mission, much bigger impact.

We’ve built a reputation as a leader in IT staff augmentation by focusing on what matters most: you and your business success.

Want to build a center of excellence in LATAM? We’ve already got the foundation. Costa Rica is the ideal place with advanced infrastructure and engineers experienced in cutting-edge technologies.

Our teams work in your time zone, align with your values, and actually stick around, because we hire full-time, treat people well, and build careers, not churn.

We support a wide range of platforms for development, custom configured for your needs. From senior developers and integration specialists to engineers fluent in your stack (and your goals), we hand-pick the right experts to power your growth.

Because happy clients start with happy people. And that’s kind of our thing.

An Ideal Location For Your Center Of Excellence

Costa Rica isn’t just rainforests and great coffee (though, yes, we’ve got those too). It’s a tech-forward hub full of seasoned engineers and infrastructure that rivals Silicon Valley. That’s why it’s the place to establish your center of excellence, and why we’ve made it our home base.

With a highly educated, bilingual workforce and a strong focus on STEM, Costa Rica has built a global reputation as the best choice for companies looking to build high-performing teams without compromising on quality.

Boasting a business-friendly environment and operations in U.S.-aligned time zones making collaboration easy, fast, and friction-free.

What’s in our DNA

BUILDING TEAMS, NOT JUST CODE

We’re not here to throw people at problems. We’re here to help you build high-performing teams, and centers of excellence, that scale with you.

Yes, we deliver top-tier talent. But more importantly, we deliver people who care about your business like it’s their own—because technology thrives with a human-first approach. We don’t just provide coders, we solve problems that improve the human experience.

Our full-time LATAM talent excel in environments designed for stability, growth, and real impact. While others churn through contractors, we invest in people—so you get developers who stay, care, and deliver.

Because great technology starts with great people. And we know how to find them. Our work must evolve as needs change, when they change. No matter the time of day, whether it’s a team or a project, our clients’ success stays in focus.

Our core values

We don’t try to be like any other company, we live by our values and stay true to who we are.

Curious
Discovering
Listening
Absorbing

Customer problems, audience, competing solutions, innovative experiences, and bleeding-edge tech are our playground.

Insatiable
Relentless
Never satisfied

Remarkable doesn’t come from settling. Perfection is never finished, but our hunger for it pushes us to know more, outshine expectations, and keep making things better.

Candid
Truthful
Straightforward
Honest

Frank, but with respect and joy. Sometimes it’s tough speaking truth, but that’s how great work gets done. We stay aware of the impacts of our choices.

Accountable
Taking ownership
Responsibility
Answerability

Success demands holding each other accountable, even when doing so is uncomfortable.

Adaptable
Ambidextrous
Awareness
Attention

Understanding the surrounding environment, restrictions, and needs. Always evolving and adjusting as details change.

Empathetic
Feeling
Seeking understanding

Empathy isn’t just for user experiences. It applies to clients, too. Each brings their own set of unique experiences and ambitions. Empathy is like a tailored suit: one size does not fit all.
